RECOGNITION  OF  THE 
SOUTHERN  CONFEDERACY. 


AIR — "Rosseaus  Dream." 

Recognize  us,  recognize  us, 
From  the  South  the  noble  cry, 

Strikes  the  ears  of  Lincoln's  cabinet, 
Recognize  us  now,  or  die. 

We  have  borne  your  jeering  insults, 
Heaped  upon  our  noble  race, 

Recognize  us  now,  this  instant, 
E'er  we  meet  you  face  to  face. 

If  you'l  come  to  us  as  brothers, 
Asking  pardon  for  the  past, 

We  like  brothers  will  receive  you, 
And  will  love  you  to  the  last. 

We'll  forgive  your  past  injustice, 

We'll  forgive  your  John  Brown  raid, 

If  we  find  sincere  repentance, 

In  yonr  hearts  that  God  has  made. 

Recognize  our  honest  labours, 

From  our  land  to  clear  the  dross, 

To  stifle  Greely,  choke  off  Beecher, 
Degenerate  preacher  of  the  cross. 

Recognize  us,  recognize  us, 
From  the  South  the  noble  cry, 

Strikes  the  ears  of  Abram  Lincoln, 
Recognize  us  now  or  die.
